Plant the climbing rose bushes up close to the fence to grow up the fence easily and use it for support. Space the climbing rose bushes out at 6 to 7 foot (2 m.) intervals along the fence, as this gives them room to grow and spread out their long canes.

Training a Rose up a Wall or Fence
By training a fabulous, fragrant climbing or rambling rose up a wall or fence, you can convert a dull, even unsightly area into one of the most stunning features in your garden.
How do you secure a climbing rose to a fence?
Both climbers and ramblers will need support. Attach horizontal straining wires using vine eyes that can either be hammered into a all or screwed into a wooden fence. The rose will need to be tied in at regular intervals.
Do climbing roses ruin fences?
Roses do not "root in" the way ivy and many vines do, so they don't damage the surface at all. They need support to climb, however. Once you are beyond the trellis range, you will have to put in nails or hooks to tie them up.
Do you cut back climbing roses?
Climbers are routinely pruned in winter, after the flowers have faded, between December and February. Long whippy shoots can be shortened or tied in during autumn, to prevent strong winds from damaging them. Renovation can be carried out at any time between late autumn and late winter.
Can you cut climbing roses to the ground?
Most climbing roses outgrow their space or become intrusive and need to be cut back. These tough plants will survive an argument with a tractor-driven hedge cutter and still come out blooming, so there is little you can do with secateurs that will cause more than very temporary damage to the plant.
Should I deadhead climbing roses?
Single blooming climbing roses should only be pruned right after they have bloomed. ... Repeat flowering climbing roses will need to be deadheaded often to help encourage new blooms. These rosebushes can be pruned back to help shape or train them to a trellis either in late winter or early spring.
How far from fence to plant climbing rose?
If you're planting your climber up a support structure on a wall, position the roots at least 30cm (1 foot) away from the base of the wall so rainfall can get to the roots. Lean the stem towards the wall at an angle of about 45 degrees as the starting point for training.
How do you shape a climbing rose?
Prune the side stems back to the main stem, leaving around 2 to 3 inches. Continue to work across the climber, removing any weak stems completely, as these won't hold a bloom in the summer. If you notice any dead stems, which will be thick and brown, cut these off at the base of the rose.
